Deliziosa! Meditalia basil pesto! It is perfect in a summer salad topped with a garnish of fresh basil from the garden... or in the winter when you pine for fresh garden basil. And, when you use it, you are supporting a not-ONLY-for-profit company. Meditalia is manufactured by PeaceWorks, a food and condiment company that for the past decade has promoted economic cooperation among people on opposing sides of various world conflicts. According to founder Daniel Lubetsky, the company has helped to establish businesses bringing together Jews and Arabs in Israel, Muslims, Christians and Buddhists in Indonesia, and Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka.

Meditalia also offers jars of black olive and green olive tapenade... perfect for a “shmear” on crackers, pita or bread. To view all Meditalia products, or to shop online: visit Peaceworks.com.
